If you live in the US, you can buy the Google Nexus One starting today, online, via Google’s website – it costs $180 with a T-Mobile contract agreement, and $530 unlocked. The big news is that Verizon and Vodafone will also sell the Nexus One, starting the spring of 2010 (their prices have not been announced). Update: according to this Google press release, you can buy the Nexus One as of today not only in the US, but also in the UK, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The Google Nexus One runs Android 2.1 and includes all the Android apps that the Motorola Dorid has. Another interesting thing: the metal bezel on the back of the phone can be personalized (engraved), but it’s not clear yet where and for how much you’ll be able to do that.
